Utah Vacation - Capitol Reef

After we left Goblin Valley, we drove through Capitol Reef National Park on our way to Escalante.  We had never stopped to hike there so we decided to explore Grand Wash, which can be reached from a trailhead right off Route 24.  We walked about 3 miles round trip.  There was some water in the wash, so we christened our new hiking shoes with even more red mud.
